This would be a really BIG DEAL, if it is true.

From my understanding, the Tevatron was _just_ on the edge of having enough theoretical energy to see the Higgs. Who knows, maybe they were right..

The Tevatron, the huge particle accelerator at Fermi - the most powerful in the world after the LHC - is expected to be retired when the CERN accelerator becomes fully operational, but may have struck a final blow before it becomes obsolete.

D'oh. Stupid irony!

I will make a prediction right now, eventually particle physics will be abandoned as obsolete.

If this is true what is the economic reason to continue with CERN as originally planned? I guess maybe verification, but I would be very disappointed that my facility didn't get there first.

I think this is very exciting from a fundamental science perspective and maybe a bit of shadenfreude.

I thought that I’d heard that the Higgs’ Bosun was found passed out in a dive in Olongapo City somewhere, and returned to the Higgs before she sailed, by his shipmates.
